Forecasts indicate a steady year-on-year growth, with 2024 starting at €514.03 and reaching €532.18 by 2028. This represents an approximate 4.4% cumulative increase over the five-year period. On average, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected at approximately 0.85% per year. The consistent rise suggests a stable upward demand or supply dynamics within this sector.
Future trends to monitor include potential impacts from regulatory changes post-Brexit, shifts in global fish demand due to environmental concerns, and advancements in sustainable fishing technologies. Economic conditions and trade partnerships will also play a critical role.
